Being naked seems to be the newest way of raising cancer awareness lately. Interesting
The university of Warwick rowing society have released images from their 2015 calender containing naked images of the rowers aiming at raising fund for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Although, their last year’s images were banned by Facebook for being ‘too pornographic’ but it still ended up been a huge success selling over 1,500 copies and raising thousands of pounds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Featuring 12 members of the university’s rowing club, the girls – aged between 18 and 21 – can be seen frolicking in their boat house on the River Avon in Barford, Warks.
The young women are hopeful that their third naked calendar will be met the same success of their previous efforts having raised a whopping £5,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support over the years.
Although January is still a little way off the girls have already received 200 pre-orders from across the globe for their 2015 calendar, including from the Gay and Lesbian Rowing Federation in Boston, USA.
Third year history and politics student Sophie Bell, 20, from Upminster, Essex, who helped organised the 2015 calendar, said the girls have not held back with their latest efforts.
One of the girls admits that they did have their concerns regarding marketing the calendar without the help of social media, but says that they have already received a phenomenal response.
‘We have raised over £3,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support and thought we might struggle to sell as many of the 2015 calendars without Facebook.
‘Thankfully, due to the support of our loyal fans, they saw sense and put the page back up again and the girls are really looking forward to selling as many as we can to our fans all over the world.’
